Dwarf planet · Asteroid belt. The largest body of the asteroid belt and the only inner-system dwarf planet — the first dwarf planet ever orbited (Dawn, 2015). (mean distance 2.77 au, orbital period 4.6 years, diameter 939 km; NASA Planetary Fact Sheet · NASA Solar System Exploration.) Not a place on Earth.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
